This item includes one spare awl guide for our signature punching tool or your punching cradle. It is compatible with any signature hole punching setup that has a 90-degree cradle and even can be used as a standalone tool. Awl and punching cradle are not included.
The hole punching tool helps to prepare all of the signatures of a book you are working on in an identical manner. With the guidance of the cradle, the holes for sewing will be in the exact same location as relating to the top and bottom of the sheet or section.
220 mm tool with 10 mm spacing has 21 holes. 310 mm tool with 10 mm spacing has 30 holes. Please also check other options or make a customized order for other sizes and configurations.
The "Puzzle" versions of the guide are made in pieces that you'll have to assemble on your own:
400 mm, 500 mm, and 600 mm.
That allows to save on the shipping and keep the final price of the product lower.
If you want us to preassemble them, please make a customized order. The final price will be higher by approximately 20 euros.
The holes are numbered for ease of use and replication on different projects. The numbers are printed in a contrasting color for better visibility and ease of use.
If you want to get your items printed in some other color, that may be done for an additional 10 euro fee (if the color is available at our supplier).
You can always add tracking to your order for an additional fee.
Free tracking is available:
- for orders from the EU above 60 euros
- for orders from other parts of the world above 100 euros.
By default, items are printed in any random color available at the moment. If you want to choose a specific color, please write us a message. Colors currently available are listed in our FAQ section: https://ibookbinding.myshopify.com/apps/help-center#hc-colors-of-plastic
